NOAH handbags are cruelty-free, made of vegan-friendly materials like canvas and Italian PVC. They are easy to organize inside with 3 pockets which can be used for stashing phone, change, or your lipstick. There’s a clip for your keys and an inner zipper compartment. They are closed with a magnetic closure.

The Fall Collection includes beautiful appliqued bags. Each piece an artist statement. Below you can find a few that I thought were especially cute. If you find something that you like, then use offer code DEAL25 at checkout to receive 25% off of your purchase price.

Autumn Leaves

The Autumn Leaves bag is available in two shoulder strap styles. One has a tote-bag look with a brown faux leather handle set in the middle of the bag. There’s also a bag that they are calling North South with a up and down rectangular shape and an additional zipper down the side. Both are made in a khaki canvas with a brown applique.

Wavy Canvas

The Wavy Canvas bags are made of a quilted canvas. They are fully lined and the shoulder straps are made of PVC in either an orange or a dark brown. It comes in a tote or a large or small hobo bag.

When I shop, I use re-usable shopping bags. My boyfriend calls them my “hippie bags.” Whatever, you want to call them, they make sense for a number of reasons. Some of the bags are plain, utilitarian, which is fine, but if you are going to use them again and again then why not get something cute and fun?

Clover Leaf Tote

This carry-all reminds me of spring! And considering how much snow is outside, this is a very good thing!

This fair trade bag by En Gry & Sif features unique and intriguing designs, making each one unique. I love the pom poms that line the zipper. At 14 inches wide and 9.5 inches high, it will hold everything you need!

You can get yours for $122.00 from Hip and Zen. Warning: they use leather in some of the supporting features, so if you’re looking for something vegan-friendly, this ain’t it!
